Sobre este e-book

Hydroplane racing burst onto the Seattle scene in 1950, and local sports fans embraced it with a passion that is hard to imagine. Throughout the early 1950s, thousands of fans flocked to Lake Washington to watch classic races between Seattles Slo-mo-shun boats and a fleet of East Coast challengers. For over 40 years, hydroplane racing was synonymous with summertime in Seattle. During its golden age, when hydro fever was at its height, drivers like Bill Muncey, Ron Musson, and Mira Slovak were sports heroes on par with todays Ken Griffey Jr. or Ichiro. Seattle became the hydro capital of the nation.
